Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life by Bryan Lee O’Malley

5.0

---

Scott Pilgrim is a 23-year-old slacker in Canada. He is part of a mediocre rock band called Sex Bob-Omb and is scandalously dating a high school girl, Knives Chau. He lives with his gay roommate, Wallace, who frequently criticizes him for his life decisions. After multiple dreams featured a colorful-haired girl, Scott sees her in real life. She's American, broody, and can travel through the subspace whenever she chooses. After Scott tries to meet up with her, he kicks off a challenge from her seven evil exes for her love. The first is Matthew Patel, who initiates a video game-style fight to the death with Scott. This book acts as the introduction to the wacky, stylized world of Scott Pilgrim. It is funny, extremely well-illustrated, and presents a unique and interesting story. Given some more adult content at points throughout the story, I would not recommend anyone below middle school read this book. Scott's story can be a great read for anyone of the appropriate age though, and I recommend that after completing this one to continue on with the other volumes of the comic as well.
